Mrs. Lin coughed twice, glanced away, glanced at the house, and immediately thought about it. She turned around and said: "Yuan Qiu, Auntie, your house is really dilapidated. If there is a wind and rain, But what should we do? How about this, you two brothers and sisters move to your aunt's house. There is still an empty room in your aunt's house. You can move in immediately after packing it up. How about that? "
Yuan Qiu shook his head: "No, Yuan Hao and I are not going anywhere. This is our home. These one hundred taels are our family's money and have nothing to do with you. You should give up this idea as soon as possible. Go back to your home, my temple is small and cannot accommodate a giant Buddha like yours."
Yuan Qiu ignored Mrs. Lin and went straight out of the fence yard. Together with Yuan Hao, she unloaded the things from the oxcart and carried them home. She closed the door with a bang. Ms. Lin was so angry that she jumped up and down, but she was helpless. In front of so many people, can she still win
This news soon reached Aunt Liu's house, and Liu Wenzhen jumped up in shock: "One hundred taels? Did you hear that right? Is it really one hundred taels?"
Fourth Aunt Liu's face turned dark brown, and she felt so regretful that if Wenxuan hadn't been engaged to Jiang Chunyan yesterday, and just because Xia Yuanqiu listened to Wenxuan like that, wouldn't these one hundred taels have fallen into her pocket
But after what happened with Qian'er's one tael of silver, she knew that she had no hope of the one hundred taels.
Liu Wenxuan's attention was not on the one hundred taels of silver. All his attention was focused on the fact that Xia Yuanqiu had the support of the magistrate of Pingtung County.
If the village chief can help his family a lot in the village, but if he marries Xia Yuanqiu, he will have the opportunity to get to know the county magistrate, which will be of great help to his future. He frowned in his heart. He calculated that Jiang Chunyan was better-looking than Xia Yuanqiu, who was thin and dark-faced. He was also literate and could compete with him from time to time. This was one of the reasons why he fell in love with Jiang Chunyan. In this poor mountain village, he wanted to It is extremely difficult to find a literate wife, and Jiang Chunyan is not bad looking, so he naturally likes her.
Of course, the biggest reason why he agreed to the marriage was because Jiang Chunyan’s father was the village chief. Because he was the village chief, and his family had several wealthy relatives living in the town and county. I heard that the village chief had a His nephew worked as an errand in the county government, and it was only because of this relationship that he agreed to the marriage.
Unexpectedly, just after the engagement banquet was held, Xia Yuanqiu, whom he hated and abandoned, would actually board the magistrate's ship. The magistrate even sent an official to come to her door to deliver the silver coins in person. This kind of relationship is comparable to a It is much better for my nephew to work as an errand in the county government. He said he is an errand, but who knows what kind of errand he is, maybe he is just a janitor, and he can't speak at all in front of the county magistrate.
"Wenxuan, please tell me something. We must quickly find a way to get one hundred taels from that dead girl Xia Yuanqiu." Aunt Liu became excited when she thought of the one hundred taels of silver notes lying in Xia Yuanqiu's arms. It's terrible, it seems as if anything belonging to Xia Yuanqiu's family belongs to Liu Cui.
Liu Wenxuan rolled his eyes at Liu Cui, who was greedy, and said with disdain: "Short-sighted, can you hold anything else besides money in your eyes?"
Liu Cui was slightly stunned. She didn't expect her son to suddenly ask this question. What could she, an ignorant village woman, do if she didn't have money in her eyes? Books? Unfortunately she didn't recognize a word of it.
